Chapter 140: A chance encounter at Tongzhou Port
The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old.
The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue.
Tongzhou Wharf is very lively, with five large ships moored and queuing up in turn to unload.
The trucks entered the dock in an orderly manner and began to load the goods, which will soon enter the warehouse of the Ark Cargo Company. That is the largest cargo storage base in Tongzhou, and the daily goods come and go in and out, from all over the country, and then sent to all over the country.
"Doudou, let's rest here for two days, and I'll take you to visit Tongzhou City." On deck, a man of great figure was bending down to look down at the cabin.
At his voice, a woman stooped out of the cabin and stood on the deck.
The wind blew through her dress, stroked her hair, and the man's bright smile lit up her eyes.
The years have been carefully polished on her, making her from an ignorant girl to a mature and beautiful woman.
"Let's go eat hot pot, and by the way, let's see how the franchise store on his side is doing for the second brother-in-law." Huang Dou looked up at the man beside him.
"Okay, let's go, I just called a car, and I've arrived." Zhao Dashan habitually took his daughter-in-law's hand and helped her to step on the deck carefully.
Dongmei and Yunmei, the two little girls, hurriedly lifted their skirts and chased after them. Left and right, they followed them carefully.
The city of Tongzhou is very lively, and this excitement is different from the excitement of the wharf. The dock is more about being busy for survival, and in the city, it's about being busy with life.
The second restaurant of Shenxian drunk hot pot is opened in Dongshi, which is the largest market in Tongzhou, where dozens or hundreds of shops are lined up. Zhao Dashan and Huang Dou got out of the carriage and walked inside, and the two little girls behind them opened their eyes curiously and peeked left and right.
They had just been brought out by the main family, and in March this year, Huang Deluo got rid of his filial piety and married a girl from a local merchant family in Tongzhou.
Soybeans got the news during the New Year, March 16 and the 4th master Huang Deluo got married, and the 5th master Huang Dezhong got married on March 28, so that the third aunt and grandmother must go back as soon as possible.
The third aunt and grandmother soybeans came out of three big ships, and now there are five big ships. Not to mention in Nanshan Town, even in Xiangyang Mansion, there are few ship merchants with such great strength.
Ark Cargo Bank, retail is only a part of them, and wholesale is their main focus now. Because the variety of goods is complete and the filling is fast, it is trusted by shops and vendors all over the world.
Huang Deluo, who was married, did not rush back to Tongzhou with his new daughter-in-law, but waited until Huang Dezhong, the fifth of his twenty-eight-year-olds, got married, and then he took his daughter-in-law back to Tongzhou. Huang Dezhong also took his newlywed wife to Xiangyang Mansion, and he also took care of four shops such as "Rice Lane" in Xiangyang Mansion.
The Huang family is a farmer and a businessman, no matter how rich they are, they can't take off the hat of a businessman, and they can marry their family, but they are just the local girls in Nanshan Town and the ladies of these prefecture and county merchants.
Huang Mi has already given birth to a pair of children, and now the third is already waiting in her belly. The years seem to have a special preference for the daughter of the Huang family, and Huang Mi, who is about to give birth to her third child, is becoming more virtuous and quiet, and her gestures are more calm and calm.
She has the decisiveness of a business woman and the gentleness of an ordinary woman.
Huang Dou knew that all this was the reason why the boat cargo store opened opposite the Tujia cargo store two years ago. She was forced to grow up, and she grew up quickly, which made people feel distressed.
Fortunately, Tu Huasheng is still a good man, and he did not live up to Huang Mi's efforts.
And the yellow peach is the least changed, and the yellow peach, which has given birth to two sons, is slightly blessed. She has been teaching her husband and children at home, Zhang Xiaohu's family affairs are simpler than the Tu family, and Zhang Xiaohu and Huang Tao know each other, and their relationship is incomparable to Tu Huasheng and Huang Mi.
It can be said that Huang Tao's current life is the best of the three sisters of the Huang family.
Soybeans are the worst, she has been married for three years and has no children. Although, everyone doesn't say it, they still mind it in their hearts. Coupled with the rumors of Zhao Dashan back then, when she returned to Nanshan Town a year ago, others looked at her with pity.
After attending two weddings, Huang Dou and Zhao Dashan came to Tongzhou Wharf, which was already April, and after the deep spring, it was close to early summer.
When I entered the fairy drunk hot pot restaurant in Tongzhou City, there was only one table of customers in the store, probably because I came too early, and it was not a meal.
Zhao Dashan booked two tables of double seats, Huang Dou and Zhao Dashan sat down, and the two little girls wanted to come over to serve, but were stopped by Zhao Dashan: "You go and eat yours, we will come by ourselves." ”
The two little girls should have been told by their families to return to their positions very obediently. Dongmei is smaller, it looks lively, and Yunmei is much more stable.
Huang Dou watched the two little girls chirp and choose their favorite dishes, and helped each other add ingredients to each other's hot dishes.
What was she doing when she was that old?
She is in Nanshan Town, she has just met Zhao Dashan, and she and Zhao Dashan are still working hard for daily food and clothing.
"Eat, what do you see?" Zhao Dashan knocked on the table.
"Look at those two little girls, look at them, I feel like I'm old." As he spoke, Huang Dou touched his face.
"Well, I think it is, look at your face being blown by the wind, and they are all peeling." As he spoke, Zhao Dashan reached out and touched the soybean's face.
"Oops." Huang Dou hurriedly slapped his hand away, and looked around in a panic to see if anyone was seen. Zhao Dashan looked at Huang Dou's blushing face, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's eat." ”
The two of them chatted while eating, studying how the soup base of the fairy drunk was, and at the same time evaluating the service here.
The number of customers in the store gradually increased, and when the meal was almost complete, Zhao Dashan went to the clean room, and Huang Dou sat alone by the window, leisurely.
"Third sister-in-law?" Soybean, who was looking out the window, was startled by this sound, and quickly turned his head to look behind him.
Standing in the side aisle behind Huang Dou, a tall black man was looking at Huang Dou with a look of surprise and disbelief.
"Uh......" Huang Dou felt that he might have recognized the wrong person.
"Third sister-in-law, I'm Dadiao, Zhao Dadiao." The strong man turned his head indifferently when he saw the soybean, and hurriedly walked a few steps to stand on the side of the bean's table.
Eh, this name should be the brother of Uncle Zhao Dashan's family.
But we're not familiar with it! Huang Dou didn't know what to say, so he could only smile and nod.
Zhao Dadiao sat in Zhao Dashan's position just now, and looked at Huang Dou eagerly and excitedly: "Third sister-in-law, why are you here alone, my third brother?" ”
"Oh, he's gone to clean the room." Soybean looked at him politely.
Probably feeling the gaze of Huang Dou's eyes, Zhao Dadiao was even more excited: "I didn't expect to meet you here, the last time you went back, I just happened to be with the boat." When I go back, you're gone again.
Third sister-in-law, are you also in Tongzhou now? What a coincidence, how about the goods are loaded or not. ”
"I don't know, I have to ask Dashan about this." Huang Dou said, turned his head to the left, and just saw Zhao Dashan coming from the backyard.
Seeing Zhao Dashan, Zhao Dadiao became even more excited: "Third brother, I, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Zhao Dashan walked over and dragged a stool and sat down beside Huang Dou: "Da Diao, why have you also arrived in Tongzhou?" ”
"I happened to have a batch of goods with the owner of the goods in Tongzhou this time, and the goods were unloaded, and I was still waiting for the goods, so I went out to play with a few brothers on the ship. Seeing that the immortals were drunk, I thought that this was not our store of the Zhang family in Nanshan Town, so I came in with them.
As he spoke, Zhao Dadiao pointed to a few men sitting at a table not far away.
"Okay, you go to dinner, turn back to the docks, go to the boat to find me." Saying that, Zhao Dashan stood up and patted Zhao Dadiao on the shoulder: "It's called the Ark, you should know it as soon as you go to the dock to inquire." ”
"Hey, okay, then I'll go back to you." Saying that, Zhao Dadiao also stood up.
Zhao Dashan took the soybeans to the shopkeeper, and settled his two tables and Zhao Dadiao's table accounts, afraid that they would not have enough to eat, Zhao Dashan deliberately lost some more money, and told that if there was more, he would give it to the tallest and strongest man.
The two of them took the little girl out of the store, and immediately Zhao Dadiao was surrounded by several people who came with him: "Dadiao, that's your brother and your sister-in-law, it's not like it." ”
"That's it, that's it, you just brag, although your brother is tall, he looks magnificent, and he looks like you're black, strong and thick."
"Hehe, that's the third brother of my uncle's family, dear, he now has five big boats. This store is what kind of franchise store opened by his brother-in-law. Zhao Dadiao said proudly.
"That pretty lady is your sister-in-law?" Someone approached Zhao Dadiao and asked.
"Yes, my third sister-in-law is the girl of the Huang family in Nanshan Town." Zhao Dadiao said proudly.
"I'm obedient, I'm so beautiful, let alone being a daughter-in-law like this, it's worth dying if you sleep."
"What do you say? Believe it or not, labor and management will kill you. When Zhao Dadiao heard this, he actually said soybeans, and he immediately became popular.
"Don't, why are you doing it, they're all your own brothers. Dog, you kid doesn't have a door on his mouth, not to mention the sister-in-law of the eagle can't say it. Even the girl of the Huang family, you can't say, how many lives have been saved by the Huang family's rice planting every year, and more than 100 catties of rice are produced a year. ”
Someone from Nanshan Town pushed the dog.
"I'm not a cheap mouth." The dog slapped himself as he spoke: "Brother Da Diao, you have a lot of adults, don't be like my brother." Look at your third brother, he really doesn't look like a mortal. ”
"Of course, in addition to the ship, he also has the ark cargo stores and ark warehouses in various prefectures and cities. He and his eldest brother drove it. Zhao Dadiao felt proud again.
"Your brother is so powerful, why don't you follow your brother, why do you follow the Qian family's boat. Qian lame stepping on a horse is really not a thing, and this time he deducted money again. ”
"Well, who's to say it's not. It's really black-hearted, as the old saying goes, it's not bad, it's lame and blind. ”
Several people quickly shifted the topic from Zhao Dadiao's brother to Qian Cripple, a steward of the Qian family.
When these five people were full of food and drink and ready to settle the bill, they knew that the account had been settled by Zhao Dashan, and they even found Zhao Dadiao for more than one or two silver.
They regretted it, they knew that they had just let it go and eaten, more than one or two silver.
